Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Her hands wrapped up in mine
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
No messin' with a made up mind
Sun settin' on goodbye
[Verse 2]
It's hard to believe
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time
[Verse 3]
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
No, it ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Verse 4]
I've never seen over from this side
Never heard lonely get this quiet
Still I can't keep from smilin'
'Cause damn, that girl can fly
[Verse 5]
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
No, it ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Verse 6]
A tumbleweed heart
Chasin' that wind
Goin' too far
Wherever that is
[Verse 7]
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin'
Searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
No, it ain't always the cowboy that rides away
Rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
Whoa, that rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
